Walter C. Willett,Meir J. Stampfer,Graham A. Colditz,Bernard Rosner,Charles H. Hennekens,Frank E. Speizer +5 more
TL;DR: Prospective data derived from measurements of alcohol intake recorded before the diagnosis of breast cancer confirm the findings of several previous case-control studies and suggest that alcohol intake may contribute to the risk of Breast cancer.
Journal ArticleDOI
Long-term intake of dietary fiber and decreased risk of coronary heart disease among women.
Alicja Wolk,JoAnn E. Manson,Meir J. Stampfer,Graham A. Colditz,Frank B. Hu,Frank E. Speizer,Charles H. Hennekens,Walter C. Willett +7 more
TL;DR: The hypothesis that higher fiber intake, particularly from cereal sources, reduces the risk of CHD is supported, and the association between long-term intake of total dietary fiber as well as fiber from different sources and risk ofCHD in women is examined.
Journal ArticleDOI
Body weight and mortality : a 27-year follow-up of middle-aged men
TL;DR: In these prospective data, body weight and mortality were directly related and after accounting for confounding by cigarette smoking and bias resulting from illness-related weight loss or inappropriate control for the biologic effects of obesity, there was no evidence of excess mortality among lean men.
Journal ArticleDOI
